Powderhouse Productions and the Travel Channel are casting a new reality-competition TV series, where the country's best "Hard Hats" go head to head using the biggest, baddest Cat machines in the construction business.

This show celebrates the American Workers who have built our wonderful country! So are YOU the best backhoe operator there ever was? Are YOU an expert on an excavator, or another piece of heavy machinery? And do you have an awesome sense of humor?! If all this sounds good to you, well then come show it to the world!
